Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus'for making strand reinforced webs, and, more particularly, is concerned with apparatus of this type wherein strands are wound helically upon spaced parallel reaches of endless helically wound metal springs.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of apparatus of the character described wherein a pair of endless rubber V-belts are utilized to grip each parallel reach of the metal springs with the web thereon, each belt being gripped by V-shaped carriers mounted on an endless chain, and with the chains rolling in turn on fixed guides.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of slotted fixed tubular guides for supporting each parallel reach of metal spring after the web has been formed thereon, the fixed tubular guides being utilized in conjunction with the opposed V-belt guides or instead of the V-belt guides.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision'of.
  • the aforesaid means usually being employed in conjunction with means for selectively adjusting the pitch of the metal springs.
  • apparatus for making strand reinforced webs including a pair of endless helically wound metal springs, means supporting the springs to provide opposed parallel reaches, means for advancing the parallel reaches, means for helically Winding strands around the advancing parallel reaches to provide a web, means engaging the springs on the parallel reaches thereof immediately after the formation of the web and holding the reaches against deflection as the web is advanced by the advancing springs, means for applying 3,332,822 Patented July 25, 1967 plastic to the web, means for cutting the web from the springs, and means for winding up the web.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the apparatus incorporating the principles of the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross sectional view taken substantially on line 2-2 of FIGURE 1 and illustrating the opposed V-belts and chains for supporting one parallel reach of the metal springs of the apparatus;
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view, partially in cross section, and taken substantially on line 3-3 of FIGURE 1 and illustrating the fixed slotted tubular guides utilized to support a parallel reach of the metal springs of the apparatus;
  • FIGURE 4 is a side elevation of an embodiment of .the invention utilizing heated rolls for consolidating a web.
  • the numeral 10 indicates generally each of a pair of endless helically coiled metal springs appropriately mounted by means 12 so as to provide rather widely spaced parallel reaches 14 which extend in the manner illustrated substantially the full length of the apparatus of FIGURE 1.
  • the springs 10 have a diameter of /3 of an inch and are made from sixteen gage wire.
  • the springs 10 are continuously advanced in the directions of the arrows 16, as for example by a motor 18 driving through a reduction gear box 20 to shafts 22 which drive the adjacent support means 12 for the springs 10.
  • a feature of the invention is that the pitch of each metal spring 10 canbe changed by moving and reclamp- Mechanism is provided for helically winding strands 1 on the parallel reaches 14 of the springs as these reaches are advanced in the direction of the arrows 16, and such mechanism conveniently takes the form of a spinner ring 26 carrying a plurality of strand bearing spindles 28 thereon, this ring surrounding the reaches 14 and being carried by rollers 30.
  • the spinner ring is rotated by a shaft 32 extending from a reduction gear box 34 associated with the gear box 20.
  • a variable speed control 36 is provided on the gear box 34 and an adjustable speed control 38 on the gear box 20 as that the relative speed of the metal springs as they are advanced in the reaches 14 is so related with the rotating speed of the spinner ring 26 and the pitch of the metal springs so that the strands indicated by the numeral 40 in each of FIGURES 2 and 3 are at selected and uniform spacings in the resulting web.
  • the strands 40 can be Wound upon every convolution of the spring 10, upon every second convolution, every third convolution, or on substantially the selected convolution.
  • the pitch of the springs is adjusted to receive each helical Wrap in proper position.
  • the tubes 44 illustrated and described can be extended he full length of the apparatus to guide and support the parallel reaches of the springs 10 over substantially their :ull length of travel through the apparatus.
  • :ven hough a lubricant can be employed between each ipring 10 and the inside of tube 44 there is considerable Frictional resistance to the travel of the spring 10 Victoria the tube, and this is particularly true if the itrands 40 are wound under a reasonable tension.
  • the V-belt 50 is :arried in V-shaped metal guides 58 of relatively linear short length each carried upon a link of a chain indicated is a whole by the numeral 60, the chain 60 also being endless.
  • the endless chain 69 has rollers 62 rotatable upon 1 hardened guide plate 64 mounted on fixed channels 56.
  • the V-belt 54 is carried upon a similar chain and supsort, this being indicated as a whole by the numeral 68 1nd inasmuch as this chain and its support is identical that already described the chain 68 will not be described in detail.
  • the resulting structure provides a very firm and posi- :ive holding of each parallel reach 14 of each spring :hroughout the remainder of the travel of the parallel reaches through the apparatus.
  • the web formed by the strands 40 is thus held fiat and taut during the travel of :he web through the apparatus so that subsequent operations can be performed on the web in the manner soon :0 be described.
  • the opposed pair of V-belts illustrated in FIGURE 2 and adapted to engage with each parallel reach of each spring 10 are illustrated in FIGURE 1 of the drawings as engaging with the springs 10 immediately after the springs leave the tubes 44.
  • the tubes 44 could be omitted and the pairs of parallel belts could be extended up closer to the spinner ring 26 with the belts performing the entire function of supporting the parallel reaches 14 of the springs 10 throughout the supported travel thereof through the apparatus.
  • plastic applying apparatus Associated with the apparatus are means 72 for applying plastic to the web of strands 40.
  • this plastic applying apparatus is in the form of a bank or row of plastic spray guns 72 which apply liquid plastic with a :uring agent therein to the web of strands.
  • the plastic applying means can in addition to the spraying operation, or as an alternative thereto, apply a continuous sheet of plastic to the web of strands by making the mechanism 72 to include a roll of plastic sheet, paper, or the like which can be applied to the web.
  • the mechanism 74 it is possible to provide a plurality of longitudinally extending strands 4 to the web, to the top thereof, the bottom thereof, or both should this be found advisable.
  • the Web next passes to a drying or curing oven indicated by the numeral 76, appropriately heated to effect the curing up of the plastic and the web of strands.
  • a drying or curing oven indicated by the numeral 76, appropriately heated to effect the curing up of the plastic and the web of strands.
  • knives 78 sever the web from the springs 10, usually adjacent the support means 12 and the finished web is wound up upon suitable means 80.
  • the spraying of the web and the curing of the plastic in the oven can be avoided, and the oven 76 eliminated, by passing the web, marked 40a, between heated rollers 94, as seen in FIGURE 4.
  • This practice is usually practical only when the strands are of thermoplastic material, such as vinyl, so that the cross over points of the strands are heat sealed together.
  • strands formed into the web have a thermoplastic sheet of previously formed plastic applied thereto, as heretofore described, it is possible to heat seal with rollers 84 either vinyl strands or strands of fiberglass or nylon into the thermoplastic sheet.
  • the geometry of the carrier springs 10 is important, among other reasons in order to prevent objectionable vibrations and oscillations. It is usually desirable to keep the outside coil diameter between about 6 .and about 8 times the wire diameter. Typical wire diameters are between about .075 and about 1.00. Typical spring diameters then fall between about .4" and about .8".
  • the spring is made from carbon or stainless steel, and is provided with a number of coils per inch equal to the desired spacing between the strands. In the form illustrated the spring has a pitch of providing 8 coils per inch to provide Ms spacing between the strands. This can be adjusted to provide greater pitch and spacing in the manner heretofore described, or a spring with a different pitch can be used initially or interchangeably.
